The Motion for Change of Venue-r
Denied by Supreme Court.
HE MUST STAND A TRIAL.
The Case Now Goes to the Quarter ses-
‘ sions Court and thc’Costs ofthe Proceed-
ings Are Placed on the Petitioners.
Congressmen Say this Means the Sena-
tor’s Defeat for a Beelection.
Philadelphia, Jan. 11--The petition of
United States Sena-tor M. s. Quay. his
son Richard R. Quay. and err-State
Treasurer Benjamin F. Haywood, for
a writ of certiorari removing the trial
of the conspiracy case against them.
from the local court to the supreme
court, was dismissed by the supreme
court.
The case was remanded to the quarn
ter sessions court of this city for trial
and the costs of’the proceedings were
placed on the petitioner's.
The opinion of the court was hand—
ed to the cle1k, but was not read from
the bench, Judge Sterrett merely an-
nouncing the dismissal of the rule to
show causes why a writ of certioxari
should be issued. There was no dis~
senting opinion.
The petition for a writ of certiorari
of course put an end to the proceed—
ings in the lower cou1t, and it is not
known when the case will be recalled
by the district attorney.
Another intelesting point is that the
personnel of the district attorney’s of-
fice has changed since the proceedings

P. F.1Rothermel was elected in No-
vembei and assumed the office in Jan- .
uary, succeeding George S. Graham.
whom the defendants in this case al—
leged was particularly active by rea—
son of political enmity in pressing the
prosecution. ‘
Mr. Graham, however, was engaged
by Mr. Rothermel as special attorney
to conduct the opposition before the
supreme court last week to the motion
for the W! rlt of certiorari.
Whether Mr. Graham will handle the
case when it is resumed in the county
court has not been made public.
Belief Quayis Beaten.
Washington, Jan. 11.--The news of
the decision adverse to Senator Quay
was accepted here by Pennsylvania
congressmen as meaning his defeat
for re-election. They declare it means
the election of Chris Magee to the Uni-
ted States Senate.
A Pennsylvania member said it was
generally accepted that if the court de-
cided against the Quays it meant the
senator's defeat, as while members of
the legislature who refused to go into
caucus said they would await this de—
cision, others who did attend declared
if .the court decided against Mr. Quay
they would refuse to vote for his re-
election.

GOV. WATKIN’S MESSAGE.
Slate‘s Financial Condition Reviewed by
the Acting Chief Executive.
Trenton, Jan. 11.—-Acting Governor
“'atkins sent his message to the leg—
islature yesterday. It is confined to
a review of the work of the depart-
ments for the year, and recommenda-
tions for legislation are left to Gov-
ernor-elect Voorhees, who is to be in-
augurated one week from yesterday.
Governor Yv'atkins says that his brief
occupation of the executive oflice and
the fact that heals a. member of the
legislature makes this course advisa-
bin.
The financial statement shows total
receipts of $2,354,622.05. and the total
disbursements of $2,298,443.49, which.
with a balance in the bank on Novem-
ber 1, 1897, of $945,345.89, leaves a bal-
ance October 31, 1893 ,of $1,001,524.45.
Commenting on this showing, the gov~
error says:
“The state fund shows receipts over
disbursements during the year amoun-
ting to $56,178.56, an increase in re-
ceipts of $55,844.17, and a. decrease in
disbursements of $14,617.48, as compar-
ed with the preceding year. During
the year just closed the receipts from
the tax for state uses on railroad cor-
porations were reduced by payments
to the various districts of the state,
amounting to $199,133.61, under an act
passed at the last session of. the legis-
la'ture.
“Payments were made during' the
year classed as ‘extraordinary expen-
sos’ nmountingto $191,170.34. Notwith-
standing these unusual expenditures.
the year closed with a. cash balance
on hand of $1,001,524.45, the largest at
the close of any year in the financial
history of the state.
“The war debt has been reduced by
the payment of two hundred thousand
dollars. and the principal sum of this
debt will be further reduced by the
payment of one hundred and twenty-
three thousand dollars, due January 1.
1899, leaving the last installment of the
war debt, seventy-one thousand dol-'
lars, which falls due on January 1,
1902."

taining the conviction of former Coro-
nor Edward B. Coombes of Brooklyn,
who was convicted several months
ago.
Coombes and former Coroner George
H. Nason were jointly indicted for
rendering fraudulent bills andcollect-
ing fees amounting to $2,762.50 for three
hundred and twenty-five inquests in

Coombes was sentenced to nineteen
months in the penitentiary.

.may accomplish in this glorious coun-
tlyof ours without any assistance oth-
er than that of his own talents and
energy.
Heie is a sentiment written a «few
days ago by Mr. Sloan in 1esponse to
a request for advice:
”A young man should be diligent and
give his closest attention to his busi—
ness, whatever it may be. He should
watch what goes on about him and
drink in all the information that will
tend to advance him. In all situations
and all circumstances he must be
scrupulously honest-mover leave the
straight path. Cheerfulness diligence
and honesty should be his guiding
lights, and unless somethin‘g very ad-
ve1se occurs, success will be his re-
ward." .
NEW YO.K’S POISON MYSTERY.
District Attorney Says Ho is Unable to
Make an Arrest.
New York, Jan. 11.--It was definitely
stated by District Attorney Gardiner
yesterday that no arrest will be made
in the Adams poisoning case on the
strength of the evidence collected up
to date by Captain McCluskey and his
non.
This he qualified somewhat. when
asked 11 but VVoull happen if the sus-
pect in the case should attempt to
11311ch the jurisdiction of the state. He
is fully conversant with all that the
detective investigation has elicited, for
it was all laid before him yesterday af—
ternoon at police headquarters. by
Chief Devery and Captain McCluskey,
nith the object of determining wheth-
er the case were ripc enough for an ar-
rest.
Although he gave it as his firm be-
lief that the police case is incomplete,
he expressed the fullest confidence in
the police detectives, in a statement
which he made to— day to representa-
tiV es of the mess.
‘1 will not authorize the arrest of
any man on such a, terrrible charge 01‘.
murder unless I believe that I can 'con-
vict him.” Thus he stated his posi-
tion.
“Do you think from what you now
know that the same person sent the
poison to Barnet and to Cornish?” he
was asked.
“That is mV opinion, ” he answered.
“H? s any attempt been made to have
the suspect identified as the purchaser
of the wig and beard in Newark?” “Is
Mr. Molineux the suspect?” and
“Vv'ould the‘détective department per—
mit the suspect to leave the jurisdic-
tion of the state?” were the only ques—
tions asked him which he refused to
answer.
He said that it would be manifestly
unfair to reply to those, but he did
say that any attempt on the part 01'
the suspect to defeat the ends of jus~
tice by flight, would cause prompt ac~‘
'tion on the part of the police.
He invited the reporters and the
public to aid in the detective work.
This was the invitation:
“If any of you newspaper men or it
any One brings to me such evidence as
will convince a reasonable man of the
guilt of any person in this case, I will
.go at once and swear out a. warrant
and the arrest will be made as quickly
as the accused person can .be reached
by the oflicers.”
him if any such informant would have
to be publlcly known in the case and
was answered in the negative.
Colonel Gardiner declared it was all
rubbish to say that political influence
hindered the arrest. '
